Vortex Brands (OTC: VTXB) Provides Strategic Advisory Services for Gold Transaction, Establishing Framework for Scalable Growth

DENVER , May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Vortex Brands Co. (OTC: VTXB), a diversified holding company focused on scalable, asset-backed ventures, today announced its strategic advisory role in a significant gold transaction, marking the commencement of a business model with substantial revenue potential.

Vortex Brands is providing key advisory services related to the acquisition of gold dore from artisanal miners in Africa and its subsequent export to Dubai for refining and sale. This initial engagement establishes a framework for future transactions with increasing scale.

The first transaction involves the acquisition of 7 kilograms of gold dore, with arrangements underway for its transport to Dubai for refining and monetization. A subsequent transaction involving 10 kilograms of gold dore is slated to follow immediately, with the model designed to support bi-weekly transactions.

The gold dore being acquired is approximately 95% pure, ensuring a high recovery value upon refining.

The structure of Vortex Brands' advisory role is designed to scale in proportion to the size of each transaction. The Company anticipates that this model can grow to encompass the acquisition and processing of as much as 1,000 kilograms (1 metric ton) of gold per month, reflecting the significant production capacity and supply commitments available from artisanal sources.

"This engagement represents a strategic advancement for Vortex Brands," said Todd Higley, CEO of Vortex Brands. "By providing our expertise in establishing efficient supply chains and refining partnerships, we are positioning ourselves to capitalize on the global gold trade. This advisory role allows us to participate in a scalable and profitable model, with the potential for significant revenue generation as transaction volumes increase."

This move aligns with the increasing prominence of gold as both an inflation hedge and a valuable asset in uncertain markets. The World Gold Council reports that central bank gold purchases remain at multi-decade highs, and artisanal mining continues to be a key contributor to the global gold market.

Vortex Brands intends to leverage this advisory role to build a robust, revenue-generating vertical within its real asset portfolio. The Company will provide further updates as the business model expands and transaction volumes grow.
